Process Solutions (ttpmc2101m000)

Use this session to display the solutions that are present in the registry of solutions and connected to the specified update VRC.

Solutions can be registered in the registry of solutions, and connected to an update VRC through one of these sessions:

This session is the central session in the total solutions process at the recipient system. After scanning, you can initiate all the further actions for individual solutions from this session.

This session also shows whether installation instructions are present for a solution.

Solutions that are linked to an installation run (ttpmc2503m000) might be linked to a translation run (ttpmc4510m000), which is part of the composite Translations (ttpmc4610m000) session. If so, these solutions cannot be uninstalled. You can view these solutions in the Solutions by Installation Run (ttpmc2504m000) session. To start this session, click the default button on a record in the Installation runs (ttpmc2503m000) session.

Note

Translation-related sessions, fields, statuses, and commands are only available on our internal translation server.

To log on to a translation server, specify this command in the LN environment connection settings: -set TRANSLATION_SERVER=1

Alternatively, add this line in $BSE\lib\bse_vars:

TRANSLATION_SERVER=1

 

Update VRC

A physical VRC at the PMC recipient side in which updates are installed. Every update VRC has a base VRC linked.

Base VRC

A means in PMC to identify products in a unique way. Updates at the distributor side are provided with the base VRC identifier. A base VRC can contain the code of the physical VRC in which the related master product is installed, for example, B61_a, but can also be a code not related to a physical VRC, for example, 7.6_a_tt. At the recipient side, every update VRC is linked to a base VRC identifier. The installation process checks if the base VRC identifier of the update matches with the base VRC identifier of the update VRC. If not, you cannot install the update in that update VRC.

Solution Code

A unique identification of the solution in a base VRC. The same solution can exist in several base VRCs. If this occurs, the solutions must be connected to each other by a co-requisite relationship.

Status Recipient

The following statuses indicate the progress of the installation or uninstallation of a solution or Patch.

These statuses are only used at the recipient side, and must not be confused with the Solution status distributor at the distributor side.

  • Available
    The solution or patch is scanned and available on the system.
  • To Install
    The solution or patch is checked and is ready to be installed.
  • Saving

    A backup of the components is being saved.

    This status is not applicable for patches.

  • Installing
    During the installing process the solution or patch has this status.
  • Installed
    The solution or patch is installed.
  • To Uninstall
    The solution or patch is checked to be uninstalled.
  • Uninstalling
    During the uninstalling process, the solution or patch has this status.
Superseding Solution

The code of a superseding solution, if a superseding solution is present.

A superseding solution is installed instead of the superseded solutions. However, the status of the superseded solution is nevertheless changed to Installed.

Details

If this check box is selected, a text with pre-installation and/or post-installation instructions is present.

Click Text to read the text.

The instructions are marked with one of these symbols:

  • < Pre-installation instructions.
  • > Post-installation instructions.
Patches by Update VRC

The patch code to which the solutions are linked.

 

Components
Dependencies

Starts the Dependencies (ttpmc1541m000) session.

Check to Install
Check and Install

Starts the Check and Install Solutions (ttpmc2204s000) session.

Use this session to combine the check and the installation. If the check returns no problems, the solution is immediately installed.

Install
Check to Uninstall
Uninstall
Connect to Update VRC

Starts the Connect Solutions/Patches to VRC (ttpmc2201s000) session, which makes the solution available for an update VRC if the solution was already scanned for another update VRC. Both update VRCs must have the same base VRC.

If the solution was scanned in the first VRC, the status of the solution is at least Available.

In this way, you can scan a solution once, for example, for your live environment, and make the solution available for installation in a test environment.

Disconnect from Update VRC

Starts the Disconnect Solutions/Patches from VRC (ttpmc2202s000) session, which undoes the action described in the Connect to Update VRC field.
